GLASGOWOODS Â Â 10 #14 Posted August 26, 2015 All too often we hear tales of woe about escalators. This thread has bought back terrible traumatic memories of the time my shopping trolley got stuck to the slopey electric stairs of T'As(bo)da, whilst on a scientific journey through the wastelands of Parsonia in my quest for any signs of sentient life. Â Hahaha........and another hahaha. Â My minds full of madness, just wish I could get it down on paper like you Alcoblog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Alcoblog   10 #18 Posted August 26, 2015 Tell me Alco, how do you select the threads that might benefit from your brilliance?  Also, can you explain't cartoon?  Cartoon … CARTOON?! That's no cartoon sir, it's a high definition photograph taken by my very own 'Alcoblad™' 35mm SLR pinhole camera, thank you so much, very kindly.  It was taken for a thread somewhere on here, whereby I made an account of an expedition that my goodself (courtesy of the trusty Alcocopter™) made into the far distant, and as yet unchartered, antediluvian quagmire, colloquially known as Parsonia .  The one hour exploration involved bartering with the neanderthal species for emergency Hula-hoop flavoured supplies at an emporium known as T'Asda. Upon my attempted escape from said den of malcontentment, my shopping trolley became embroiled with a rotating, electromagnetic metal staircase causing much distress. It is only through sheer good luck and happenstace (and a 3-phase taser) that I survived to tell the tale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Minimo   59 #19 Posted August 26, 2015 Tesco at Spital Hill is just as bad. The escalators there keep breaking down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mda03cn   10 #20 Posted August 26, 2015 They aren't really escalators in the sense they have steps so it's really just like a long ramp when it's not working,  But they are useless when they're not working and you have a trolley full of shopping as the wheels lock onto the travelator and you can't push them.

Godzilla   10 #24 Posted August 27, 2015 With the lift and the escalators out of action, it is not possible to get a trolly full of shopping up to the top carpark. It's a bit of a faff if you've walked down the stairs and only realised you can't get back when you've already filled a trolly.
